Meet The Mayor

I’m Mayor Anthony Howard and let me be the first to welcome you to Blakely if you’re a visitor and thank you if you’re a citizen. I was born and raised here and have watched this unique farming community evolve into what it is today. Describing Blakely in a few words would be a very daunting task but I’ll give it a try. It’s busy yet quiet, except during Friday Night Football! It’s unassuming yet it produces enough agriculture to help feed a nation. It’s quaintly picturesque yet we’re not afraid to get our hands dirty. I could go on but it still wouldn’t do our community justice. I couldn’t be more proud of our citizens and to serve as your mayor. If we can be of assistance in any way, please let us know. We’re here to serve you.
